Guilty, your honor. I've been working on it. Though that track is so twisty, it is hard to make it all around the track without moving your hands.

that's of course only technically correct. i think the truth is, whatever you're most comfortable with is the right way if you aren't chasing 10th's on laps. it's of course fine to move your hands on the wheel if you have to go beyond lock, but avoiding the hand corrections will prevent unwanted direction inconsistencies when you come out of or go into turns.

sometimes the hand position can seem harder if you have a tendency to have a tense grip. i had that problem early on and still consciously think about it while driving on track. you don't look like you have tense hands, but you can practice getting around that by keeping your palms slightly off the wheel and using your fingers. that worked for me.

also, lots of stretching of your shoulders helps. it's crazy how physical driving fast on a track really is.

interesting. mine doesn't show that. but maybe that's consistent with you said you didn't see anything after may, and mine showing as late may production.

This is cool, functions nicely. But my car is missing... Does it need to be added to the list manually?

For those with light weight glass do you have a rear defrost switch? Curious if cars with light weight glass still have it or if it was not installed. My build sheet does not list light weight glass but I do not see a heating element in the glass. Thanks.

Heating elements in glass = No LWG
No heating elements = LWG

I believe I still have the button but it does nothing. I'll check when I hop in today.

The heating element is very evident if you have ‘normal’ rear glass with a heated rear screen.

Correct. I don't have the button. Also, remember that LWG is not an option, so it won't show up on the build list. You can just tap on the rear sides and rear and see how it sounds different from the driver/passenger windows. It's a big difference. Sounds plastic-like.

If you chose rear wiper it got optioned out.

I have LWG and defroster button. I think the button is for heating the side mirrors. It is a euro spec T.

If they bring the T back for 992, I think it would be in the late cycle, but since the narrow body is gone, it would not be a real T in my opinion. We will see what happens.
